I didn't really care about this one. I've read several fiction books from WWII but this one just didn't do it for me. I didn't care about the characters, didn't care about how everything just magically worked out for everybody and I dnd't care about the story, though the premise of women working as dressmakers and seamstresses and working against the Nazis was interesting but ... I felt like this book was full of nothing and fluff. There were parts here and there that were interesting but they were few and far apart. I just wish that it was better because the topic was really interesting.
